Keowee Bear at Day's End was inspired by a real black bear encounter on Lake Keowee in Upstate South Carolina. Nathan and I were out fishing during spring break, about to head in, when I said I wanted to see what was around the next corner. Around that corner, tucked into one of those steep, quiet Keowee coves, there was a huge black bear lying in the water at the edge of the lake.
At first, because we could hear people talking near a house up the bank, we thought it might be somebody's very large black dog cooling off in the shallows. But as we drifted closer, it became clear it was a bear, resting in the lake at day's end like it had every right to be there. This painting holds that quiet, mesmerizing feeling: deep green water, golden evening reflections, shadowed shoreline, pale stone, dense mountain foliage, and the bear watching from the cove.
